Things that annoy me

GEICO also supports the most expensive sport on the planet... off shore power boat racing.

Wow, these are part of Life's mysteries and I don't think there are answers. This stuff just happens.

1. Two pronged electrical plugs. One side is a bit larger than the other. Fifty-fifty chance to get it right. I always get it wrong.
2. TV cable ends. Hand tighten, and then a wrench or pliers is always required to get it out. And why are the post in such obscure locations?
3. Auto ice dispensers in refrig door, gives you two cubes, or too much, never just the right amount.
4. Jump drives for computers. Fifty-fifty chance to plug it in correctly, I always get it wrong.
5. New fangled 5 gallon gasoline cans, with the auto-breathe-dispenser technology. Give me an old milk can and a worn out funnel.
6. Sawing pvc pipe. Why does it take so long to saw the last 1/3 of the pipe?
7. Hose faucett connections. Seems to take twice as many turns to get them off as to put them on.

When people talk just to hear themselves - not so bad if its a continually different commentary or subject matter. But I HATE it when they re-hash the same thing over and over. And just when you think they are done - they start again. All the while asking you questions...the same darn questions asked and answered multiple times.

I happen to have two people like that in my life at this very moment. SHOOT ME

So far everything that annoys you guys annoys me.

I guess the big thing that annoys the heck out of me is LAZY people.

And another thing..... Trailer lights annoy me. They work, then they don't - you fix them and they quit.

Add to the list...

1)People who borrow things that you later have to go hunt down.

2)People who borrow things when you are not home / without asking.
(Usually the same people)

This sounds like a government meeting. With engineers.

Good deal! Just so you know, they must come on a paddle steamer from China, mine took 3 weeks.

To be acknowledged, appreciated, or paid. The first two feed the ego, the last one puts food on the table, and a roof over your head.

The one cash register clerk also being the phone answering person for the business. Makes for some slow lines.

Thanks for posting that! Sounds like something I could use too, but I would hate to have to wait that long - can I borrow yours?

Wimins likes lots of words and talking. She is just making you talk to her.
You can break her of it by going on the offensive, get all up in her space and start asking her a bunch of questions and she will throw you out of the house to do what you please outside. Win - Win.

Do they not teach people how to use turn signals anymore? Some seem to think they are optional equipment, so they never get used

Waiting for my wife to get ready while I'm half way to the car. :laughing:

Car commercials, there seams to be hundreds durning the morning news, which seams to consist of talking heads telling me that there is traffic during rush hour and that it's raining outside and car commercials. At the advertised rate I should be buying or leasing a new car every week!
